Silly question on grooming

Post by HarrysMom »

Hi everyone, I am having problem that is very silly Im sure, Harrys butt fur has gotten very shaggy/ long and I was wondering if I can trim it? Normally I wouldnt bother but he is getting poopie butt and its gross. Plus what would be the best tool for trimming? Also I domt want him to look to goofy when Im done. Thanks In advance.

I shave Butters bottom side with the clippers. He can also get shaggy and messy. I just use my best judgement and plug in the clippers and start shaving until I feel it is OK. Sometimes it is a bit uneven but I figure most people aren't staring at his butt!! :wink:

Nahkohe's groomer use to shave his butt in a sort of V shape because his poops would tend to not clear the area :roll:
But I have to say that since we have changed his diet, the messy poops have gone away.
